The World’s Our “Oyster”

The "Oyster"

Belfast University has launched the world’s largest wave generation device, which has been named the Oyster. According to its sponsors, the marine energy industry could provide as many as 12,500 jobs, contributing £2.5 billion to the UK economy by 2020. Marine energy such as that produced by Oyster has the potential to meet up to 20 per cent of the UK’s energy demands.
